The Oklahoma Academic Standards for Mathematics 2015 specify what students should know and be able to do as learners of mathematics at the end of each grade level or course. Students are held responsible for learning standards listed at earlier grade levels as well as their current grade level. Following each of the standards are Sample Problems or Classroom Activities (Forthcoming) that clarify the standards and provide possibilities for their implementation.

Throughout this document, the standards are written to allow time for study of additional material at every grade level. The order of the standards at any grade level is not meant to imply a sequence of topics and should be considered flexible for the organization of any course. The document provides standards for PK-7, Pre-Algebra, Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II with Algebra I as the pre-requisite for both Geometry and Algebra II.

Development of the Oklahoma Academic Standards for Mathematics

The Oklahoma Academic Standards for Mathematics writing team drew on the work of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) standards documents;  the  National  Research  Council’s  report Adding It Up, the Oklahoma Priority Academic Standards (PASS), and  other  states’  standards  documents  and  curriculum framework guides (e.g., Minnesota, Virginia, and Massachusetts). Please see the reference list at the end of this document for a more complete list of all resources consulted.

Vision and Guiding Principles

These standards envision all students in Oklahoma will become mathematically proficient and literate through a strong mathematics program that emphasizes and engages them in problem solving, communicating, reasoning and proof, making connections, and using representations. Mathematically proficient and literate students can confidently and effectively use mathematics concepts, computation skills, and numbers to problem-solve, reason and analyze information. Developing mathematical proficiency and literacy for Oklahoma students depends in large part on a clear, comprehensive, coherent, and developmentally appropriate set of standards to guide curricular decisions. The understanding and implementation of these standards throughout PK-12 mathematics experience for students is based on the following guiding principles: Guiding Principle 1: Excellence in mathematics education requires equity--high expectations and strong support for all students.

All students must have opportunities to study—and support to learn—mathematics. Equity does not mean that every student should receive identical instruction; instead, it demands that reasonable and appropriate accommodations be made as needed to promote access and attainment for all students.

Guiding Principle 2: Mathematical ideas should be explored in ways that stimulate curiosity, create enjoyment of mathematics, and develop depth of understanding.

Students need to understand mathematics deeply and use it effectively. To achieve mathematical understanding, students should be actively engaged in doing meaningful mathematics, discussing mathematical ideas, and applying mathematics in interesting, thought provoking situations. Student understanding is further developed through ongoing reflection about cognitively demanding and worthwhile tasks.

Tasks should challenge and engage students in mathematics in multiple ways. Short- and long-term investigations that connect procedures and skills with conceptual understanding are integral components of an effective mathematics program. Activities should build upon curiosity and prior knowledge, and enable students to solve progressively deeper, broader, and more sophisticated problems. Mathematical tasks reflecting significant mathematics should generate active classroom talk, promote the development of conjectures, and lead to an understanding of the necessity for mathematical reasoning.

Guiding Principle 3: An effective mathematics program focuses on problem solving.

Mathematical problem solving is the hallmark of an effective mathematics program. Skill in mathematical problem solving requires practice with a variety of mathematical problems as well as a firm grasp of mathematical techniques and their underlying principles. Students who possess a deeper knowledge of mathematics can then use mathematics in a flexible way to attack various problems and devise different ways of solving any particular problem. Mathematical problem solving calls for reflective thinking, persistence, learning from the ideas of others, and going back over one's own work with a critical eye. Success in solving mathematical problems helps to create an abiding interest in mathematics.

Guiding Principle 4: Technology is essential in teaching and learning mathematics.

Technology enhances the mathematics curriculum in many ways. Technology enables students to communicate ideas within the classroom or to search for needed information. It can be especially helpful in assisting students with special needs in regular and special classrooms, at home, and in the community. Technology changes what mathematics is to be learned and when and how it is learned. Tools such as measuring instruments, manipulatives (such as base ten blocks and fraction pieces), scientific and graphing calculators, and computers with appropriate software, if properly used, contribute to a rich learning environment for developing and applying mathematical concepts. Appropriate use of calculators is essential; calculators should not be used as a replacement for basic understanding and skills. Although the use of a graphing calculator can help middle and secondary students to visualize properties of functions and their graphs, graphing calculators should be used to enhance their understanding and skills rather than replace them.

Standards Overview The Oklahoma Academic Standards for Mathematics are developed around both content and process strands. The four main content strands, Algebraic Reasoning and Algebra, Number and Operations,

Geometry and Measurement, and Data and Probability organize the content standards throughout PK-7 and Pre-Algebra. The standards for Algebra I, Algebra II, and Geometry are fundamentally organized around these strands as well. The process standards are defined as the Mathematical Actions and Processes and are comprise of the skills and abilities students should develop and be engaged in developing throughout their PK-12 mathematics education. Among these are the ability to problem solve and communicate and reason about mathematics which will help students be ready for the mathematics expectations of college and the skills desired by many employers. The process and content standards work in concert to create clear, concise and rigorous mathematics standards and expectations for Oklahoma students with the aim of helping them be college and career ready. Both content and process strands are described below. Algebraic Reasoning and Algebra Strand: All students should be able to reason algebraically and learn algebra. This strand provides focus for the PK-7 and Pre-Algebra standards around the notion that algebra is more than moving symbols around. It is about understanding patterns, relations and functions, representing and analyzing mathematical situations and structures using algebraic symbols, using mathematical models to represent and understanding quantitative relationships, and analyzing change in various contexts. Understanding change is fundamental to algebraic reasoning and understanding the concept of function with depth. It is also fundamental to understanding many real-world problems and ideas presented in the news. Number and Operations Strand: A focus on number and operations is the cornerstone of a strong mathematics  program.  Developing  students’  fluency  with  number  and  operations  throughout  their  PK-12 mathematics experience requires a balance and connection between conceptual understanding and computational proficiency.  This  strand  provides  focus  on  the  importance  of  students’  understanding of numbers, ways of representing numbers, relationships among numbers, relationships among number systems, and meanings of operations and how they relate to one another. Further, it requires that students should be able to compute fluently and make reasonable estimates. Geometry and Measurement Strand: All students should gain experience using a variety of visual and coordinate representations to analyze problems and solve mathematics and learn how to use appropriate units and tools for measuring. This strand provides focus for the PK-7 and Geometry standards around the notion that geometry and measurement help students understand and represent ideas and solve problems they will encounter in their daily lives. A focus on geometry should enable students to analyze characteristics of two- and three-dimensional objects, develop arguments based on geometric relationships, describe spatial relationships using coordinate geometry and other representational systems, apply transformations and symmetry to analyze mathematical situations, and utilize visualization, spatial reasoning and geometric modeling to solve problems. A focus on measurement should enable students to understand measureable attributes of objects and the units, systems, and processes of measurement, and apply appropriate techniques, tools, and formulas to determine measurements. Data and Probability Strand: An increased emphasis on understanding data should span all grade levels. The idea that making sense of data and probability has become a part of our daily lives provides support for the  importance  of  this  strand  throughout  a  students’  Pk-12 mathematics experience. A focus on data and probability should enable all students to formulate questions that can be addressed with data, and collect, organize, and display relevant data to answer them, select and use appropriate statistical methods to analyze data, develop and evaluate inferences and predictions that are based on data, and understand and

solutions to various tasks from real-world situations and applications that are often interdisciplinary in nature. They will find methods to verify their answers in context and will always question the reasonableness of solutions.

Explore and communicate a variety of reasoning strategies to think through problems. They will apply their logic to critique the thinking and strategies of others to develop and evaluate mathematical arguments, including making arguments and counterarguments and making connections to other contexts.

Hold the belief that mathematics is sensible, useful and worthwhile. They will develop the habit of looking for and making use of patterns and mathematical structures. They will persevere and become resilient, effective problem solvers.

Make predictions and conjectures and draw conclusions throughout the problem solving process based on patterns and the repeated structures in mathematics. They will create, identify, and extend patterns as a strategy for solving and making sense of problems.

Develop the ability to communicate mathematically. They will discuss, write, read, interpret and translate ideas and concepts mathematically. As they progress, students’  ability  to  communicate  mathematically  will  include their increased use of mathematical language and terms and analysis of mathematical definitions.

Oklahoma Academic Standards for Mathematics 5th Grade

The fifth-grade standards place emphasis on number sense with whole numbers, fractions, and decimals. This focus involves three main ideas: whole number division, the notion of decimal and their connections with fractions, and addition and subtraction of fractions. Students will develop proficiency in the use of fractions and decimals to solve problems. Solving real-world and mathematical problems is a common theme across the number and operation strand. Additionally, students will work with many foundational algebraic ideas, including exploring patterns of change using patterns, tables, graphs and rules along with evaluating expressions and solving equations involving variables when values of the variables are given. Students will describe, classify, and draw representations of three-dimensional figures. They will also determine the area of triangles and quadrilaterals. Finally, students will display and interpret data including finding the mean, median and range of a set of numbers.

Problem solving has been integrated throughout the content strands. The development of problem solving skills should be a major goal of the mathematics program at every grade level. Experience with the process of  problem  solving  will  need  to  be  integrated  early  and  continuously  into  each  student’s  mathematics education. Students must be helped to develop a wide range of skills and strategies for solving a variety of problem types.

While learning mathematics, students should be actively engaged, using concrete materials and appropriate technologies such as calculators and computers. However, facility in the use of technology should  not  be  regarded  as  a  substitute  for  a  student’s  understanding  of  quantitative  concepts  and  relationships or for proficiency and fluency with basic computations.

Mathematics has its own language, and the acquisition of specialized vocabulary and language patterns is crucial  to  a  student’s  understanding,  appreciation  of,  and disposition for the subject. Students should be encouraged to correctly use the concepts, skills, symbols, and vocabulary identified in the following set of standards.

Oklahoma Academic Standards for Mathematics 6th Grade

The sixth-grade standards transition from an emphasis on whole number arithmetic in the elementary grades to an increased emphasis on algebra and geometry with some data analysis and probability. Students will read, write, represent, compare, and explore the connections between fractions, decimals, percents, and ratios. They will write positive integers as a product of factors. Students will develop mathematical proficiency with multiplication and division of fractions and solve real-world problems. Solving real-world and mathematical problems is a common theme across the number and operation strand. As a part of the algebra strand, students will recognize and represent relationships between varying quantities as well as solve real-world and mathematical problems using patterns, tables, graphs and rules. Students will model, write, solve, and graph one-step equations with one variable using number sense, the properties of operations and the properties of equality. Students will develop formulas and use them to calculate the area of quadrilaterals and be able to explain why a particular formula is used and why it works. They will begin to explore and use relationships between angles in geometric figures and choose appropriate units of measurements to solve real-world and mathematical problems. Students will display and interpret data and use probabilities to solve real-world and mathematical problems.

Oklahoma Academic Standards for Mathematics 7th Grade

The seventh-grade standards continue the transition from an emphasis placed on whole number arithmetic in the elementary grades to an increased emphasis on algebra and geometry with some data analysis and probability. Students who complete seventh grade are prepared to study pre-algebra in eighth grade. Topics in grade seven include integer concepts and computation, proportional reasoning, and two-step linear equations. Students will apply the properties of real numbers to solve both equations and inequalities. Students will display and interpret meaningful data in a variety of ways. They will also begin to use proportional reasoning to draw conclusions and make predictions about relative frequencies of outcomes based on probability.

Problem solving has been integrated throughout the content strands. The development of problem solving skills should be a major goal of the mathematics program at every grade level. Experience with the process of  problem  solving  will  need  to  be  integrated  early  and  continuously  into  each  student’s  mathematics  education. Students must be helped to develop a wide range of skills and strategies for solving a variety of problem types.

While learning mathematics, students should be actively engaged, using concrete materials and appropriate technologies such as calculators and computers. However, facility in the use of technology should  not  be  regarded  as  a  substitute  for  a  student’s  understanding  of  quantitative  concepts and relationships or for proficiency and fluency with basic computations.

Mathematics has its own language, and the acquisition of specialized vocabulary and language patterns is crucial  to  a  student’s  understanding,  appreciation  of,  and disposition for the subject. Students should be encouraged to correctly use the concepts, skills, symbols, and vocabulary identified in the following set of standards.
